Thanks Keith

I checked out you website and your cool Home automation stuff. I have played with Home automation, and my older automation system is detailed on my website:-

I now use X10 for controlling stuff, it works very well.

Hi Tony,

I had a look round your website the other night and saw your HA page, looks good.

At the moment all my development effort is being concentrated on my KAT5.tv products. I have a video switcher that I have been working on for far too long that has 16 PIC16F88s talking to an 18F452. Each of the F88's decodes IR signals from the distant end of a link. Getting everything to happen when it should is hard work but I am getting there.

When things are fairly quiet, the main program loop excecutes about 300 times a second so there is very little lag when an event occurs
